It may surprise you to know I have some sympathy with Nic. I don’t agree with the BHA’s position on laying, as I have explained before; and I may believe that he’s leading racing and SROC as if he understands nothing about either as far as the betting world is concerned; but being accosted in public by Harry would be no fun.

    Findlay say’s he’s not going to confront Nic again in public.

    Anyway, I’m not quite sure how they can accuse him of laying the horse (gullible gordon), when he had more on it to win. I’m not surprised he’s peeved..

    I don’t think Findlay rushing the fella is the right way to go though.

    Cheers.
